Well this is my 2nd hatch, I trashed my first due to way to much rust.

I stumbled upon this one on accident! I was on a roadtrip and saw it forsale on the side of the road about 2 hours away. On the way back checked it out and saw it had NO rust. Didnt care how much i would have to pay for it. A few days later went back and bought it. Changed the flat tire and drove it home :-D

It was 110% stock with 190k

(2nd post and beyond is when it went back under the knife)

Anywho here it is.









Carpet from Stockinteriors.com Looks fresh but hate it!!!



Peace out pinstripes!!









Also did some rubbing over the entire car :-D





BYE BYE blue interior. Luckily my old hatch had black interior!!





then came a little body work on that door. Would of bought a new door but i do this for a living so it was free. Entire process not shown. 8|





then came that pesky little LS







Whew getting there..



Then along came some new wheels and a New oem bumper

 

 

The garage



Picked up some uber cool USDM FORD lugnuts. (borrowing them from work, I work at ford body shop)



O yea some assorted parts so far. Ive decided to go LSV-turbo. Have had the head laying around for a while when i was gonna go NA.



Also picked up a itr wheel.

 

Picked up some verrrry nice si seats as well.







Also been busy ordering parts

looks great. i like the built not bought sticker. im getting 1 for my hatch. she is clean. lmk if u want to get off the ls mesh wheels. thanks

 

thanks the ls mesh are long gone though.

 

Damn, looks great. Mind telling us what you did to fix that door? It came out great

 

Grind, pull, hammer/dolly, fill, sand, primer, sand, paint. haha not to be a smart ***. Hard to explain step by step without having pics.

I do it for a living so if you have any questions pm me.

 

was your car badly oxidized?

 

No it was just really dirty.

 

What type of grinding/sanding wheel did you use to remove the pinstriping? Where would i find it? Home depot?

 

nice ride bro

 

I was digging the car until I saw your last picture post. Now the jealousy meter is through the roof! I'd kill a man for a set of 90/91 Si seats in that condition

 

It's a pinstripe eraser, you can find them at auto body supply stores. Nice build man. I think i've seen your car at a sonic meet in lancaster over the summer. Subscribed for updates

 

Pinstripe eraser... ok, Thank you...

 

car looks hot mike. haven't seen you on ma in awhile

 

Looking good.

 

Nice car. Curious to know if the "eraser" got rid of the color difference to or can you even tell with it being white?

 

looking reall good buddy, keep it up!

Thanks everyone, yea I found them on ef-honda.com. Got them for a good price too they came from an totalled si with 45k. Was to late on the door panels which were mint as well.

As for the eraser wheel you can buy one from my dad at devildogtools.com under autobody supplies. Yes it was clean paint underneath but by the time i buffed it out you couldnt notice a difference.

Yea ive been to the sonic meets a few times its not my thing all the ricers running around burning out.

 

Yeah there was alot of fart cans and primer and wack rides but alot of cool heads with clean cars still came out to. GL with the build

 

damn! nice job and good luck!

 

Awesome build. Always love seeing the transformation

 

damn i want to paint my hatch white. looks good.

 

nice build and good luck
